Military outposts located in south east of Turkey (aka Kurdistan) are the manifestation of physical violence over the last 40 years, which consumed tens of thousands of people, mostly Kurdish. These installations are seen through satellite images, as unfamiliar and curious encryptions on earth. Flags, texts and nationalist slogans are drawn on the earth with painted stones as the reminders of perseverance of the symbolic violence over encompassing terrain. An enemy within, or from above sees them from a distance as if they can protect against all conspiracies. This series of found satellite images are is part of Hakan Topal’s ongoing research in the region, which involved various field trips over the last decade.
